Traditional healers, herbalists, and folklorists like Brandon Weston are finding that the traditions of Ozark Mountains haven't died out in our age of technology, but rather have been transformed into mediums of healing still applicable in a modern world. Whether it is by physical healing with plant-based chemical compounds, or through the alleviation of psychosomatic symptoms with prayers and charms, these traditional healing techniques still follow the old Ozark saying, "It can't do any harm," and continue to heal even today. Brandon Weston is an Ozark healer, herbalist, folklorist, and writer living in Northwest Arkansas. Brandon is the owner and operator of Mountain Man Healing, and he is an active blogger on Ozark magic and medicine. He also gives lectures and native plant walks throughout Arkansas and Missouri. Brandon comes from a long line of Ozark hillfolk and works hard to keep the traditions that he has collected alive and true for generations to come. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
